Reply: (edit)It's a big problem, because when the hdd infforms a bad sector, this means the hdd can't access phisically to this sector, so they can't work in it.
You can try to do a 'low level format' thru the BIOS setup. Maybe, only maybe, you can recover this sector, otherwise, start to think to buy another hdd, it's more safe for your programs...

Gaining bad sectors is a sure sign that the HDD is on its way out.

Reply: (edit)hold on.. don't do the low level format... what you can do, and I have sugested it in many fourms already is to download a program called SpinRite 5.0 from www.grc.com. it will cost you aboutt $90.00. But it is well worth it. It can recover sectors previously marked bad., Go to the website and check it out.
It may save your harddrive. Tank863

Reply: (edit)90 bucks will replace most hard drives nowadays with better/faster parts.
Mosy modern BIOSes have eliminated the low-level format option, but if your data is backed up (and there is no excuse for not backing up important data) using low-level format or "media analysis" available on older motherboards works pretty well.
I keep an old 386 around just to recover old drives. :)

Reply: (edit)restart in MSDOS, not MSDOS prompt in windows. Or start with a startup disk. Then type FORMAT DRIVELETTER: /s /c to recover bad sector and test if it is still usable. OR, it could be a virus... Warning, this will reformat your hardisk and will lose all files, backup required. ex.
FORMAT C: /s /c]
or
FORMAT C: /u
both will recover detect and recover BADSect.

Reply: (edit)Hi, sorry to bother you with another aspect of this topic:
My Girlfriends SCSI-HD crashed - means - it made ugly sounds and Windows refused to start. Although I was able to get a DOS-Prompt without a startdisk and could RW-access the disk WIN98 didn't even write a bootlog.txt and Scandisk hung up at 1%. Instead of instantly backing up all data in DOS-environment(which I should have done) I chose the SCSI-Host-Adapter utility to search bad sectors and found several of them. The Utility coulnd't reassign all bad sectors and sometimes got an 'unexpected timeout' but there was progress and I was hopeful again. One fateful 'timeout' later the first sector of the HD seemed to be damaged, too. I tried to repair it in the described manner and there was no timeout - but no progress either. There was only one suspicious sound repeating for hundrets of times - before I shut down the computer. Somehow the SCSI-Utility flagged the HD "connected - but not accessible". As the SCSI-Host-Adapter blocks the access to the disk before any OS-parts are loaded I can't get any tool running to recover Data as described in your previous postings. Question:
HOW CAN I REMOVE THIS DAMNED FLAG: "connected - but not accessible" I know this is a big effort with little hope, but there is very important data (diploma-thesis) on the disk and cunningly there are no backups!

Reply: (edit) Well man all I can say is sell the hard disk. But wait...... no one will purchase it with bad sectors. But!!! there i a way out. Go to "cnet.com", do a search for bad sectors. I don't need to tell ya. You will do it !!!! Softwares will hide bad sectors not remove them so hide and then sell your harddisk!!!

Reply: (edit)While installing windows XP , you should format your hard drive in NTFS system for the recovery of bad sectors. But caution! win 98 cannot read from NTFS system.
